Sambit Mohanty — CEO
I've spent the last 20+ years doing what I love most - bringing brands to life through creative storytelling. Currently, I'm leading McCann South, where I get to work with my amazing teams to create advertising campaigns that truly connect with people from all walks of life. Before this, I was the National Creative Director at JWT India, where I learned the art of crafting messages that not only catch people's attention but also move them to action - Facebook 'Thumbstoppers' and 'Lost Votes' for The Times of India being two instances. What really gets me excited about my work at McCann is how we're always pushing boundaries - trying new things and taking creative risks while staying true to what makes each brand special. It's not just about making ads; it's about fighting the good fight - to create something meaningful that resonates with real people.
